Students knowledge and attitudes about the Gap Year Programme: A study at a Public university in Malaysia

Marinah Awang

Abstract

This study seeks to understand students' knowledge and attitudes about a Gap Year programme at a public university in Malaysia. A survey questionnaire was distributed to a sample of 900 students representing all the 9 faculties at the university. The data analysis was conducted using the Statistical Packages for Social Science (SPSS) involving descriptive analysis (frequency and percentage). The results showed that the students had limited knowledge about the Gap Year programme. Despite the students’ limited knowledge, their attitudes towards the programme was positive. The findings of the study are expected to add to the existing literatures regarding the Gap Year and provide empirical evidence about the Gap Year programme in the Malaysian context. Additionally, the findings are expected to provide useful insights for the university and the Ministry of Education about the newly launched Gap Year programme. Thus, more effective strategies can be developed, and the ministry's aspirati.....

Marinah Awang

Abstract

Waqf continues to be a significant source for developing the Muslim community today. Waqf institutions thus need to ensure their unceasing effectiveness in managing Waqf funds so as to establish a Muslim economy that is more vibrant, progressive and inclusive. The improved performance of the institution, which can be achieved by improving public trust, will in turn lead to social improvements as well. To ensure that a Waqf institution remains competitive, it is crucial to identify its core competencies in terms of leadership styles and roles which allow it to establish a productive working environment. Therefore, the institution’s leader plays a major role in ensuring management effectiveness. This paper reviews several literatures on the management effectiveness of Waqf institutions and proposes viable leadership communication styles for the institutions. It has been suggested that clear, regular and constant communication is necessary for the growth and effectiveness of any institu.....

Marinah Awang

Abstract

The quality of education is heavily influenced by the professionalism of teachers and the effectiveness of educational leadership.

Thus, this study aims to establish a consensus among experts regarding the construct of professional leadership competencies for middle leaders in matriculation colleges, employing the Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM). An instrument comprising elements related to professional leadership competencies was administered to a panel of 30 experts from diverse fields. The studys outcomes reveal the agreement among expert panels concerning the proposed constructs and elements of professional leadership competencies. All 13 elements met the condition of d ? 0......

Rahmah among muslim leaders: the case of waqf institutions

Marinah Awang

Abstract

This study aims to expand the existing research on empathic leadership and its impact on management effectiveness within Waqf institutions in Malaysia. This aim was achieved by including the concept of Rahmah in the analysis. Empathetic leadership exemplifies the manner in which the behaviours and emotional states of followers are impacted by the leaders' comprehension and provision of support. Data analysis was conducted via the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Well-structured interviews were used to collect the opinions of the individuals entrusted with managing Waqf properties. Given the uneven distribution of Waqf employees across Malaysia, the study population was stratified into clusters based on the states. This practice ensured the suitability and sufficiency of the sample size obtained from each cluster, specifically referring to the states. The results indicated that Islamic leaders in Waqf organizations exhibit a notable degree of empathy, as seen by the m.....

Marinah Awang

Abstract

Quality education is highly dependent on the level of professionalism of teachers and the effectiveness of educational leadership.

An instrument containing a list of elements of professional leadership competencies was presented to a total of 30 experts from various fields and background. The findings of this study indicate that the expert panel agreed on the constructs and elements of professional leadership competencies proposed.
